questions in the health history.
Nurses must consider developmental stages when caring for
pediatric patients. At the age of 12, children are old enough to
engage in a conversation and report a part of their health
information. Parents can be included as a part of the
conversation for confirmation and accuracy, yet developing a
trusting relationship with the patient is best accomplished by
including him or her directly into the conversation about his or
her care.
